Jimmy’s Corner is one of the last great dive bars, a genuine relic from the 1970’s, how Times Square used to be before they scrubbed the life out of it. Jimmy Glenn began his training as a boxer in 1949. After 14 wins and 3 losses, with one of those losses coming from the legendary heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, Jimmy decided it was time to move on. After that he became a  trainer, a manager, and the best cut man in the biz. He opened a gym in Times Square and became a friend and mentor to many young aspiring fighters. His iconic bar, Jimmy’s  Corner, enabled him to keep the Times Square Gym going all those years. He passed away from Covid two years ago, three months shy of his 90th birthday.
